Christopher Lasch's Angry Ghost
Christopher Lasch's Angry Ghost@ghostofchristo1·
This is a perfect instance of what @BMStudebaker calls “neoleftism.” A base business need (the retention of poorly prepared, fee-paying students) can be given a new moral justification by being redescribed in the language of the left (inclusion).

King’s College London has told lecturers to focus on students ‘ideas’ instead of grammar and spelling. Essay lengths have been reduced and exams are being phased out. British universities are giving up on education, says Joanna Williams buff.ly/NVrNBF3

In his "Atheism and the Problem of Evil", Paul Draper offers a subtle and careful critique of fine-tuning, mainly that not only are the probabilities assinged to the FTA unjustified, but when the data is ordered carefully, core Atheism ultimately comes out on top.

“At least there is generally tolerable agreement about what an University is not. It is not a place of professional education… Their object is not to make skilful lawyers, or physicians or engineers, but capable and cultivated human beings.” John Stuart Mill, 1867

The problem is that people love slop. This is then justified through a populist suspicion of the hierarchical distinction of taste. But the solution lies not in creating an elite consumptive class but in the radical notion that people can be learn to unlove slop.

Texas Conference of the AAUP
Texas Conference of the AAUP@TexasAaup·
Will attendees be able to discuss race, gender, and sexuality freely or will discussion of these issues be vetted as they are in the classroom? 🤨
Texas A&M System@tamusystem

Too often, conversations today turn into unruly arguments, and too few people take the time to understand what they actually believe. This spring, the A&M System is launching Civil Discourse Symposiums across multiple universities designed to strengthen respectful dialogue, civic understanding, and the ability to engage across differences: tx.ag/TAMUS023026

I have a paper that was accepted to a peer-reviewed journal. They demand I put an affiliation on the paper, but I currently have no affiliation. Should I use Independent Scholar, the name of the consulting company I am developing (Campbell Consulting), or some third choice?

One way I’ve integrated AI into the classroom is that I begin each class by having students take out their laptops, open up Claude, and talk to it about whatever for 45 minutes while I go outside and vape.

@PhilosophyUd Nah. It’s a pretty common view that C can explain E without necessitated E.

From Contingency to God 1. Every contingent fact has a sufficient reason. 2. The totality of contingent facts (C) is itself contingent. 3. So, C has a sufficient reason. 4. That reason cannot be another contingent fact. 5. So, there exists a necessary being (God) that explains C.
